This is Malina. She is 12 years old and goes to the local secondary school. Malina lives with her mother who has metabolic syndrome and learning disabilities and her elderly grandmother who is also ill. The three of them live in one, tiny old room where they cook, live and sleep. The condition of the room is life-threatening because the ceiling is so dilapidated and mouldy that it can collapse at any time. Each rain shower or snow increases the risk. Each time I visit them I am inspired by their kindness, humour and strength. They may be poor but they are a beautiful family with a strong bond of togetherness.
We want to build Malina, her mother and grandmother a small, new house. We have appealed to the local authority to collaborate with us and help with some of the funding. The mayor has responded and assured that he will support us (planning permission, free labourers, etc.).

New Birthday Cake Project - Our sweet Malina turned 12 this week and Iulia did a special home visit to deliver Malina's first ever birthday cake, along with some balloons. Malina has never been able to celebrate her birthday or have a cake before.
A small gesture on our part but an unforgettably, wonderful memory to cherish for Malina who lives in dire poverty with her learning disabled mum and sick, elderly grandmother. All three live and sleep in one tiny room which barely fits two, old, single beds. If you would like to become a birthday cake sponsor then please get in touch with Rebekka.

We just expanded our little Rainbow House. Our new portable cabin arrived yesterday and was put by crane next to our precious Rainbow House. It will serve as an office/meeting room while the other half will offer much-needed storage space for the donations we receive for our children and families.
A huge thank you to all who made this possible! The children are flourishing at the Rainbow House, it is beautiful to see their smiles. Here they are looked after and can enjoy being children without any worries or fears.
